Research into Similar Products: AP Front Cover Analysis

I have decided that I am going to do an Indie/Indie rock magazine. I looked a AP (Alternative Press) magazine as inspiration as it includes interviews and information about rock bands, particularly small rock bands. I like the way the 'AP' on the front cover stands out in a big, bold, yellow font which is eye-catching. I also like how all of the band names such as You Me At Six are fitted nicely at the bottom so that you still know they're there. I particularly like the colour scheme as well, as the main focus is the band on the front, Mayday Parade, and the colours they are wearing contrast with the brightness of the yellow, making both stand out and also making them equally as important. I would like to use a contrast of colours and mix it up so that you are drawn to one part of the magazine but don't forget about the rest.
